DRUITT (ROBERT), M.R. C.S., &c. 

 THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN SURGERY. A new 



American, from the improved London edition. Edited by F. W. SARGENT, M. D., author of 

 "Minor Surgery," &c. Illustrated with one hundred and" ninety-three wood-engravings. In 

 one very handsomely printed octavo volume, of 576 large pages. 



Dr. Druitt's researches into the literature of his 

 subject have been not only extensive, but well di- 

 rected ; the most discordant authors are fairly and 

 impartially quoted, and, while due credit is given 

 to each, their respective merits are weighed with 

 an unprejudiced hand. The grain of wheat is pre- 

 served, and the chaff is unmercifully stripped off. 

 The arrangement is simple and philosophical, and 

 the style, though clear and interesting, is so precise, 

 that the book contains more information condensed 

 into a few words than any other surgical work with 

 which we are acquainted. London Medical Times 

 and Gazette, February IS, 1S54. 



No work, in our opinion, equals it in presenting 

 BO much valuable surgical matter in so small a 

 compass. St. Louis Med. and Surgical Journal. 



Druitt's Surgery is too well known to the Ameri- 

 can medical profession to require its announcement 

 anywhere. Probably no work of the kind has ever 

 been more cordially received and extensively circu- 

 lated than this. The fact that it comprehend* in a 

 comparatively small compass, all the essential ele- 

 ments of theoretical and practical Surgery that it 

 is found to contain reliable and authentic informa- 

 tion on the nature' and treatment of nearly all surgi- 

 cal affections is a sufficient reason for the liberal 

 patronage it has obtained. The editor, Dr. F. W. 

 Sargent, has contributed much to enhance the value 

 of the work, by such American improvements as are 

 calculated more perfectly to adapt it to our own 

 views and practice in this country. It abounds 

 everywhere with spirited and life-like illustrations, 

 which to the young surgeon, especially, are of no 

 minor consideration. Every medical man frequently 

 needs just such a work as this, for immediate refe- 

 rence in moments of sudden emergency, when he has 

 not time to consult more elaborate treatises. The 

 Ohio Medical and Surgical Journal. 



The author has evidently ransacked every stand- 

 r.rd treatise of ancient and modern times, and all that 



is really practically useful at the bedside will be 

 found in a form at once clear, distinct, and interest- 

 ing. Edinburgh Monthly Medical Journal. 



Druitt's work, condensed, systematic, lucid, and 

 practical as it is, beyond most works on Surgery 

 accessible to the American student, has had much 

 currency in this country, and under its present au- 

 spices promises to rise to yet higher favor. The 

 Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



The most accurate and ample resume of the pre- 

 sent state of Surgery that we are acquainted with. 

 Dublin Medical Journal. 



A better book on the principles and practice of 

 Surgery as now understood in England and America, 

 has not been given to the profession. Boston Medi- 

 cal and Surgical Journal. 



An unsurpassable compendium, not only of Sur- 

 gical, but of Medical Practice. London Medical 

 Gazette. 



This work merits our warmest commendations, 

 and we strongly recommend it to young surgeons as 

 an admirable digest of the principles and practice of 

 modern Surgery. Medical Gazette. 



It maybe said with truth that the work of Mr. 

 Druitt affords a complete, though brief and con- 

 densed view, of the entire field of modern surgery. 

 We know of no work on the same subject having the 

 appearance of a manual, which includes so many 

 topics of interest to the surgeon ; and the terse man- 

 ner in which each has been treated evinces a most 

 enviable quality of mind on the part of the author, 

 who seems to have an innate power of searching 

 out and grasping the leading facts and features of 

 the most elaborate productions of the pen. It is a 

 useful handbook for the practitioner, and we should 

 deem a teacher of surgery unpardonable who did not 

 recommend it to his pupils. In our own opinion, it 

 is admirably adapted to the wants of the student.

One of the most valuable medical publications of

It has been to us, both as learner and teacher, a 

 workfor ready and frequent reference, one in which 

 modern English medicine is exhibited in the most 

 advantageous light. Medical Examiner. 



We rejoice that this work is to be placed within 

 the reach of the profession in this country, it being 



unquestionably one of very great value to the prac- 

 titioner. This estimate of it has not been formed 

 from a hasty examination, but after an intimate ac- 

 quaintance derived from frequent consultation of it 

 during the past nine or ten years. The editors are 

 practitioners of established reputation, and the list 

 of contributors embraces many of the most eminent 

 professors and teachers of London, Edinburgh, Dub- 

 lin, and Glasgow. It is, indeed, the great merit of 

 this work that the principal articles have been fur- 

 nished by practitioners who have not only devoted 

 especial attention to the diseases about which they 

 have written, but have also enjoyed opportunities 

 for an extensive practical acquaintance with them, 

 and whose reputation carries the assurance of their 

 competency justly to appreciate the opinions of 

 others, while it stamps their own doctrines with 

 high and just authority. American Medical Journ.
